I hope you are sitting down for this announcement.
I've officially started running again.
Crazy, I know.
I haven't run since 1999.
(Well, there was that one time in 2001 when I tried to run around my block and I nearly passed out while dry heaving. But I don't count that.)
One of my sisters started running again this year. Then my other sister and her sister-in-law decided to start training for a 5K this summer. Somehow they talked me into joining them. I'm still not sure how they did it.
This may have had something to do with it. Isn't she beautiful?
With this baby I can run with my babies!
Tyson is finally big enough to run or ride his bike along side me (or I can run while he is in school).
I can even run during naptime ;) I just get the added workout of carrying Preston upstairs to his bed when we're done.
I've been running for about three weeks now. I am working my way into it,
r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y
using my own variation of this training program.
So far, no shin splints, side aches, or burning lactic acid.
I can now run about two miles without walking. I'm not amazingly fast (especially when pushing the stroller) but I'm proud of myself.
I still have a few weeks until the big 5K. My goal is to finish the race without walking. A time near 30 minuets would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath for that. If all goes well, I will try running other races this summer.

Girl, you are nuts. I run at the Y once a week, without a stroller mind you, and I get my fill.
Just looking at the stroller makes me tired.
But, I hope you meet your goal(s).
That is awesome Nicole!!! And the boys are so cute! I am actually looking at this stroller as a potential double stroller. Do you like/love it? Pro/cons? Gotta do the homework. Double stroller=big (literally) commitment!!!
I would say sounds fun, but....... it really doesn't. I will say what I say to people in my ward that are all doing triathelons, "call me during the race when you get tired, I will drive and pick you up, and we will go get a snow cone!"
I really do think that stroller probably weights more than you do. I can't believe you can push it and with the boys in it.
But anyway enough teasing...Good Luck!
You. are. so. cool!
